Forum Spam

All of a sudden in the last month or so, we've had a few human spammers hit the Sheldon forums. Nothing horrendous, thus far. Just notes like "I'm writing something generic! [followed by a link to something-online.com]". But it's annoying to me, and, I imagine, annoying to you as well.

Our signup process is just tedious enough that I'm flummoxed it's "worth it" to these people, but maybe in a down economy it is.

In any case, I'm deleting/blocking offending accounts as soon as they pop up. When you see an offending one, just drop me an e-mail with the username, and I'll take it from there.
